Port and Cheese Hamper

A port and cheese hamper is one of the most classic gift combinations in British food culture, bringing together the sweetness and depth of aged port with the rich, savoury intensity of British artisan cheeses. It is a gift that anyone who appreciates good food will recognise immediately as something genuinely chosen rather than just sent. Options start from £29.95 with free UK delivery on orders over £35.

Range last updated May 2026, includes the latest 2 options available.

The port and cheese pairing

Port works with cheese in a way that few other drinks can match. The natural sweetness of a Late Bottled Vintage port softens the saltiness of aged cheese and brings out the more complex, nutty flavours that develop over time. Taylor's LBV Port is the port we use across our range, chosen for its approachable fruit character and depth that works with a wide range of cheese styles rather than requiring a specific match.

Choosing a port and cheese hamper

The Port and Cheese Hamper (£55) is the dedicated option, presenting British artisan cheese truckles, artisan crackers and chutneys in a traditional wicker basket alongside a full-size port. It makes a strong impression as a Christmas gift, a birthday gift for someone who knows their food, or a thank you for someone worth impressing.

The Tipple and Cheese Gift (£29.95) is a more compact option, combining two cheese truckles and crackers in a gift box with a 200ml Taylor's LBV Port as the drink choice at checkout. It sits at a lower price point while still delivering the port and cheese combination in a well-presented format.

Delivery

Every hamper is hand-packed in our UK workshop and dispatched via Royal Mail or Parcelforce in chilled packaging. Free delivery on all orders over £35, otherwise just £3.75. A preferred delivery date and a free printed gift note can be added at checkout.
